What about my eyes? I sat up a little more but my muscles…
“What about my eyes? I sat up a little more but my muscles protest and I wince. Jade stay in bed. I shake my head. I ignore the pain and slide my legs out of the bed. I get up and Stark tries helping me but I shoot him a look and he stops. I walk out of the room and slowly make my way up the stairs. I go to the bath room and don't bother with the door. I stop in front of the mirror. My eyes were still blue.. Just kind of glowing. They actually had a gray in them. Glowing like the boys do sometimes. I was really pale. But I was always pale. My hair was messy and I smelled of sweat. I didn't understand why my body has to ache so much.. I see Stark in the mirror leaning against the door frame. I turn around to face him. I take a step and my body groans. Stark closes the gap between us. He wraps his arms around me and I find mine around him. I face was nudged into his chest. He smelled like he could use a shower to. Was probably to busy taking care of me.”
